Movie Review: Chloe

This is a movie that I'd heard lots about long before I ever saw it. From what I heard, it was this huge porn flick where Amanda Seyfried goes nude for the whole movie in it. As enticing as that may sound, I still waited a further 2 years before getting around to it. Boy was I shocked.

Not only is Amanda Seyfried nude for quite a bit in this, she also forgets to act in this as well. I don't know where in my mind I ever thought her as a good actress, but it's quickly gone down the tubes. She's literally as dumb in this as she was in Mean Girls, and for all I know now, she might not have been acting there either. However, Liam Neeson and Jullianne Moore are both good in this, considering the tragedy that happened during shooting. Liam Nessons wife was killed halfway through shooting, and he finished all his scenes in this in 2 days before leaving. Even a actor who didn't give a crap about this still is far more interesting then friggin' Amanda Sigh-Freed. The movie itself isn't that intereting until the last half, after the lesbian makeout scene(well, what else can you call it?), where the plot actually gives some twists and works it way out into being a halfway decent movie. The ending is good, and leaves you with more then you sat through. If you can manage the first half, then you may find something in this film. I mean, besides the nudity, lesbianism and cheating the plot isn't too bad. The weak link is Chloe herself. If they'd gotten a great female actress, say Evan Rachel Wood or Jennifer Lawrence, maybe this would've been a great movie. Alas, not so.

Overall, this is a good movie that exists to be remade into a greater movie one of these days, if the right people do it. It is what it is.

Rating: 3/5
